GWW Tree Rescue Hubs
Tree Rescue Hub is a model pioneered by Guardians Worldwide for community led and grassroots regeneration of native forests in context-specific and placed based ways.
​
Our model is designed to work both at local level, especially through traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) but also, internationally, through co-operation, skills exchange and knowledge transfer between different hubs.
